Okay, what is it?
Sorry, I'm not going back through a multi-page thread to find your musings on the matter simply because I didn't happen to be online when you posted it. I asked you a question; you can choose to answer or not.
I heard an interview of one of the "Wall Street Occupiers," this morning who, when asked what she was protesting, said she was there to take back what belonged to her. She didn't elaborate.
I'm curious, is there a cohesive message?
The 60's protesters wanted Peace; they wanted us out of Viet Nam. I got that. This one, not so much.
Okay, what is it?
Yep. They're being instructed to not answer any specific questions as to what they're protesting. Some other group within the protectors are releasing what they're protesting. I guess they can think for themselves.
Maybe you should lend him your device.
tbqh, with the current economic + jobs situation as it is, and after that big bank bailout we had to foot the bill for, if you're still wondering what that people are protesting, you're either dumb or purposely idiotic.
The Tea Party changed the makeup of Congress. Are you really comparing these braindead hipsters to the Tea Party?
These hipsters seem to be mad about a lot of the same things the tea party is mad about.
I keep that for my own personal use, tbqh. It may seem like a fancy device, but being able to read what you write tells me what you're thinking. I understand what to a functional illiterate such as yourself reading does seem like mind reading!
Magic!
If you're too lazy to read through a few posts then you can remain ignorant and continue to look like a dumb ass. No skin off my back.
Pretty damn funny to see Yoni come in here with the already debunked conservative meme from yesterday though.

And, another proposes a return of the guillotine and "reeducation camps" (how 1984 of her)...
Oh, the irony just gets thicker.
Where were these people when TARP and Stimulus were passed?
I know one group of people that were very vocal about both -- the Tea Party.
I'm sure everyone is pissed about the banks, bailouts, etc. What makes these guys "outrage" any different? Why is this being treated like sliced bread?
They should be at the Capitol and White House then. It is from there the problems are emanating.
This is great.
Man, the depths you guys have to go to try to make people who just want power out of Wall St's hands is amazing. I would have thought the way people here protested the bail outs and TBTF that EVERYONE would have been behind this. Never underestimate the pride one has in their particular political team, I guess.
Manny, I just made the observation that they seem to be angry about a lot of the same things the tea party is angry about. No comment?
You really need to know what makes it different? Are you protesting in NYC on Wall St?
Actually, considering they're saying they're representing 99% of the country who is upset at the current situation and not a particular political viewpoint or party then you could say thats the only difference and one of the points.
I think you're right. I will give the Tea Party a lot of credit for becoming a viable political force that was borne out of a lot of anger at a lot of different things. I don't agree with their solutions, but I think the anger on certain issues is parallel with these people. I think there are differences and I think that there are idiots within both groups but I think overall you're right. They are generally pissed off at many of the same things.
Well, the "power" Wall Street wields just happens to be the power that fuels the economic engine of this country.
The "power" that needs to be reigned in is that which sees fit to borrow money it doesn't have to give to companies that either don't deserve it or are worthless money pits, to saddle business with onerous and oppressive regulations, and to violate normal standards of business law to favor cronies.
I can give them all directions to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I think the principle difference is the Tea Party movement seeks limited government while the Occupy Wall Street movement appears to want limited business.
Ah, so now that people with political beliefs close to yours are doing what the tea parties have been doing, you're ok with them?
